Lifecycle hooks are a version guard and an informational banner; runtime networking implements WhatsApp connectivity and media handling. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T01:40:49.942Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T01:41:56.521Z - **Download time:** 1004 ms - **Static scan time:** 19228 ms - **AI review time:** 46346 ms - **Total time:** 66579 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Lifecycle hooks are a version guard and an informational banner; runtime networking implements WhatsApp connectivity and media handling. - **Trigger:** npm installation or explicit library use to connect/send media. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential collection, exfiltration, persistence, or foreign control-surface mutation established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, postinstall-banner.js, lib/Defaults/index.js, lib/Socket/socket.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/use-multi-file-auth-state.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T01:41:56.521Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** local version check/banner plus WhatsApp Web socket and media operations. - **Rationale:** The install-time scripts are source-visible and benign: one enforces Node 20+ and the other only displays package information. The suspicious primitives are consistent with a WhatsApp client library and do not form a concrete malicious chain. - **Network endpoints:** wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat, https://web.whatsapp.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install hooks invoke local JavaScript files., Postinstall reads its own manifest and prints a banner., Runtime media helper can spawn ffmpeg for thumbnail extraction. - **Evidence against:** Preinstall only checks the running Node major version and exits on unsupported versions., Postinstall has no network, shell, or file mutation beyond reading package.json., Network defaults target WhatsApp Web; media fetch/upload is explicit library functionality., No source-observed credential harvesting, arbitrary command execution, eval/vm use, or persistence chain. ## Public findings ### 1.
